Noel Gallagher says: It would be an honor to write a James Bond song Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher has said he would “absolutely” write the theme song for the next James Bond film if asked to do so, saying it would be an honour.

Speaking to TalkSport, the Oasis songwriter revealed that although he has no contact with the series’ producers, he would jump at the opportunity to contribute music for the film, adding that he believes the theme songs that the series is known for should be produced by British artists.

Asked if he would like to write a song for the series, Gallagher, a long-time Bond fan who has previously said he would record a song for it “in a heartbeat”, replied: “Absolutely, yes of course. It would be an absolute honour,” before adding: “I think these kinds of things should be done by Brits, not Americans.”

The questions came after rumors that Oasis had been courted for the role, with Gallagher’s brother, band leader Liam, responding to a fan on

The singer-songwriter, who along with his previously estranged brother completed Oasis’ highly anticipated Live 25 tour in November with 41 shows in 13 countries, said he would be interested in portraying a “Mancunian villain” in the next instalment.

Bond songs date back to the first Bond film, “Dr. No” in 1962, and since then each film has had its own unique theme song. The artist chosen to contribute the song tended to change from film to film, although some, such as English composer John Barry and Welsh singer Shirley Bassey, got the job more than once.

Despite the film series being a British institution, foreigners often sing the Bond theme, with only eight British acts providing songs for the 25 films produced to date: Barry in 1962, 1963 and 1969, Basie in 1964, 1971 and 1979, Tom Jones in 1965, Paul McCartney and Wings in 1973, Lulu in 1974, Duran Duran in 1985, Adele in 2012, and Sam Smith in 2015.

Little is currently known about any potential future Bond films, with a replacement for long-time lead Daniel Craig, who exited the role after No Time to Die in 2021, still undecided and creative control now in the hands of Amazon MGM Studios, meaning the next film in the series will be the first without the creative input from Eon Productions, the franchise’s longtime hosts who had a hand in deciding who created each film’s theme song.
